How is it that it's about race when a black guy get's nominated to hold any public position, the extreme right(such as Limbaugh, Liddy etc) say it's about race without even knowin the positions of these guys, but when Limbaugh and his buddies attack people based on missinformation they willingly created, ITS NOT ABOUT RACE?!!!
I did a PowerPoint presentation on Why They (Terrorists) Hate Us that caused some jaws to drop in my class (it's not because of "radical Islam," which is what I used to think). Check it out here and pass it on:
For all who feel powell endorsed Obama because of race, so what if he did? What if he came right out and said I'm voting for Obama because he is black just like me? I don't hear anyone speaking against the people who claim to be democrats who came right out and said " I'm can't vote for a black guy". Or " I'm voting for the white guy!". The moment you don't like what I'm saying here is the moment you need to do a search here on youtube and see the people who didn't vote for Obama for race.
People you are witnessing the demise of the GOP. Rush LIMPbaugh is a ignorant opinionated idiot. What's even worse is that there are people stupid enough to actually take him seriously. The only "race" he needs to be concerned with is his "race" to rehab, the gym, and hair club for men. Maybe if Colin Powell would have exempted the cowardice to avoid serving his country by crying about a boil on his ass then LIMPbauh would hold him in a higher regard instead of such contempt.
Remember, the reason Michael Steele was nominated as head of the RNC is that it was totally about race. Let me say it louder and more plainly, IT WAS TOTALLY ABOUT RACE!!!
This may sound racist, but can anybody tell me a white Democrat that Colin Powell has endorsed in the past? Didn't think so. I'm not saying Rush was right in the way he said that but he makes a good point. For the record, I could care less about Barack Obama's race, I just hope he does a good job.
Look, If Obama was a Republican no way he gets even half the African American vote. African Americans vote Democrate no matter if the canadate is black or white, So when people make stupid comments like AA vote for Obama because he's black is ridiculous.
thatcherpelcoid- Your arguement is weak. Since you can not give a way Powell COULD ENDORSE Obama WITHOUT involving RACE, what you say turns out to be BS. In other words, no matter what Powell said to YOU it would seem like racial bias. The Powell endorsement was objective, methodical and sane. How does a colonel support you on something as shallow as RACE and then gives a 6min LIST OF REASONS! He also did not come out right away which give you a feeling that he gave it some THOUGHT. Cmon..THINK!
If you want to know the latest national political poll results, listen to Rush for just 5 minutes. If Rush is pissed off then Obama is ahead by a single digit. If Rush is extremely pissed off then Obama is head by double digit.
Lately Rush has been extremely pissed off.
By the way, Rush you need to loose some fat including some fat off your brain. Your brain is getting soft and mush.
LMAO! And if Powell had endorsed McCain, what would that have meant? These hater/hypocrites are always entertaining. It's amazing that this ex-drug abusing criminal/hypocrite still has a following.
Amen, mursemd. I wonder what whites are called who vote for McCain. Are they racist too? Just foolishness! It really doesn't matter because government already got this thing planned and they gonna use Obama as the fall guy for what they are about to do.
An evil man. Belongs on the scrap heap side by side with other former and current hate mongers. This kind of evil is the wests equivalent to terror. Terror on the minds of the ignorant and uneducated- exploitation at its worst. Sickening.
erm... its because he rejects mcbush admin and for some one to say that voting obama is about race, well, most whites have been voting for white candidates since ages? what does this make any different? white entitlement... white entitlement...
First, I'm pleased to see that it appears as though most Americans have finally evolved to look past one's physical differences when voting for a president.
THAT SAID,
I wonder what people like Limbaugh make of the fact that ALL of the United States past Presidents were white and male.
That's not TOTALLY ABOUT RACE.... and GENDER?
That's the BIGGEST AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for white guys since the beginning of US History.
General Colin Powell is an American hero who fought for this country. He has served America more then any racist redneck republican ever has. For that Fat fucking pig Rush to say it is about race is racist, un-American, and totally merit less. Rush is by far the most racist pig in the media. He should be stripped of his American citizenship and be banished from the country. Realistically at least he should be fired. Why are people not boycotting him and trying to get him fired.
Rush, you are supporting MCCain because its totaly about race. Just because he is white! Thats fair right!
Listen Im black and I can truley say the the black community would not have thought any less of Colin Powell if he was to support John McCain. He had nothing to lose or gain personally by crossing party lines here.
This election has just shown all of us that we still deal with some very relevant racial issues in this country
When this fat bigot puts his hand on his mouth and scream "it was all about race" what his little snot brain doesn't understand is that he is harming America, he is dividing people, he is throwing fuel to the fire. Clearly, he will do anything for rating. Please remember the whole world is watching, let the process play itself out without injecting poison.
I work in Chicago. I'm an avid NPR listener. Several years ago I heard Barak Obama on a local broadcast. I was impressed. I heard him a second time and I was REALLY impressed. I had no idea what kind of a name Barak Obama was. It was not until he ran for the US that I learned of his heritage. I was impressed LONG before I knew he had skin darker than my own. During his Senate campaign, I remember calling a friend and telling her, "Some day, that guy's going to be our president." True story.
I don't speak about the prediction either, don't want to be labled a Monday morning quarterback. But, I told my father 2 years ago that this would come. After 23 years of military duty overseas, the last 4 were too embarassing for me to continue. We don't need to be loved, but respected does not mean bullying third world countries.
Folk this is because of these people are running away from republicans.Their politics is dividing America. So it is now clear that Joe liebermann supports MCcain because of his race. It is now clear to me that Rush Limbaugh himself supports MCcain because of his race. If this is not true why Powell cannot support obama on issues. I am very dissappointed in Republicans. They seems to go agains everything they stand for.
"If this is not true why Powell cannot support obama on issues."
I think that is a typo, Gen Powell DOES support Obama's ideas and said so. He was very clear that McCain did not seem to have a clue and Obama had better ideas and policies, more in line with the center (his and my political preference).
I think you misunderstood me. My idea was If the believe Liebermann and Rush limbaugh support mccain on issues not on race, why do they think Powell is not doing the same for Obama?.
Yes I did not really understand your first sentence. I agree.
Lieberman & Rush vote on ideology, right wing conservative. If McCain was black, a Colin Powell type, I guarantee they wouldn't switch to a white Dem.
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT Powell is not endorsing on PARTY or ideology. He's a centrist like I'm. Powell thinks a rational moderate mix between right & left, is best. Powell's words speak clearly on their own & why he endorses Obama. What hurts, he's part of the Republican party.
We could ask Sec. Powell if he supported Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisolm or Alan Keyes. And I guess we could assert that Joe Lieberman supports McCain because McCain is white. I suppose we could ignore the endorsements of Chris Buckley, Chris Hitchins, Andrew Sullivan, Chuck Hagel's wife, Lincoln Chafee and more conservative and moderate Republicans/Independents. Let Pat Buchanan and Rush Limbaugh reveal themselves for what they are. Like Olbermann says, it's called projection.
I'm white, unaffiliated, moderate, listen to both main stream & right wing media.
It's NOT about RACE (to me). Obama, better canadate, better leader showing he's calm, cool, deliberate, smart & more Presidental w/ better policies.
McCain, negative, lies, campaign & policies & choices are bad (even conservative pundits say WTF?), throws shit at wall hoping it sticks, erratic behavior, flip flopping is MORE THAN ENOUGH to say McCain is NOT best for America, Palin is definitly Unqualified.
Tactic? I'm. I'm also college educated (unlike Rush), a professional & voted Bush (sadly) in '04, not wanting to change horse in mid stream. So shut your fucking mouth idiot.
I DO SUPPORT OBAMA, for a little over a week now. I wanted to see all debates. McCain's erratic behavior, performance, choices and did it. Obama is cool, calm, deliberate, smarter & more Presidental. Plus he has better ideas. Obama is up +11 pts.
EVERY THING Gen Powell said is how I feel, so go fuck your needledick.

haha... yes because any white, unaffiliated, moderate, who listens to main, and right wing media would have the sense to vote obama in this election... I myself am white, unaffiliated, and i would say a left leaning centrist... but i could not be more sure of my choice here...clearly your mind was made up before a front runner was picked because you dismiss someone else's choice based on issues as an age old tactic shows that quite clearly.. why is it that a centrist can't like obama?
Powell's statements very clearly state the centrist ideology... Our country has gone too far right and it is necessary to switch it up occasionally. I prefer this democrat.. I did not support Bush or Kerry last time around. Like powell stated.. this next president will be likely to be appointing two supreme court justices. I don't think any one party should have that large of a majority. That hurts their ability to unbiasedly uphold the constitution which is their job.
How is it that it's about race when a black guy get's nominated to hold any public position, the extreme right(such as Limbaugh, Liddy etc) say it's about race without even knowin the positions of these guys, but when Limbaugh and his buddies attack people based on missinformation they willingly created, ITS NOT ABOUT RACE?!!!
